Dave, Kev and Myself arrived at Balsporran Cottages at 8:00; Ian was already there, with Jake.
The weather was a bit murky, but at least it was dry. We crossed the railway line and headed on up the track, the path hit a split, but a handy we sign sent us on the right path (I think Dave got a pic of it). We soon came upon the path to the right and we made our way up Geal Charn.
We did stop at one point to try out our new toy, a nice wee sledge.
After some fun we made our way to the summit. Visibility was poor and with nothing to see, we made our way to Beinn Udlamain
- Dave asked me to take this photo for Polly 33 - For once he is smiling
The sun threated to come out from time to time, but we were sadly disappointed with zero views.
A lunch break with some of Senga’s home made Tomato and Veg soup (it really hits the spot and gives us a lift on these dull days) and it was time to head on to A' Mharconaich.
The weather started to brighten up and this lifted the spirits and we were soon at the top.
The decent made for more fun and the sledges were out again, with Dave reaching a top speed of 21.1 mph, pretty good given the snow was so soft.
The decent down was good and we were soon at the car and heading to Blair Atholl for our customary beer.
Dave, Ian, Me & Jake have now done the Drumochter 6, Kevin still has two to do, then it will be Drumochter no more.
